Our little girl is 2 years old. Sophie started the morning by going to her swimming lesson at Foss. They even sang Happy Birthday to her as they did their back floats. It was level evaluation week and Sophie got promoted up to Backfloat Baby 3! I was very proud of her.
She had a wonderful birthday party, joined by lots of friends and family. She played in her new swimming pool and sandbox and socialized with the other kids and adults. We had to drag her out of the pool to sing Happy Birthday to her and to cut the cake. Once she realized it was ice cream cake, she was OK with that!
Sophie now loves to have her hair tied up in ponytails and pigtails; she calls it "horsey hair". Her favorite color is yellow and she loves pointing out all of the yellow trucks and cars in parking lots and in the street. Her favorite movie is Finding Nemo and she loves watching Spongebob Squarepants and Dora. She also enjoys blowing bubbles, playing in the sand and coloring on the driveway with sidewalk chalk. She's able to identify most colors and many shapes, including the difference between an oval and a circle!
Jack is almost 4 months old and a great eater. He's at about 15.5 lb now and wearing 12 month size pajamas. We were lucky to borrow lots of baby boy clothes from friends. When he's sitting in my lap, he's starting to pull himself up. He loves to laugh and gets ticklish when we change his shirt or gently tickle his shoulders and arms.
It's been a great summer and we've enjoyed a long weekend trip to Bemidji over the 4th of July. Sophie has spent lots of time playing outside in the backyard, in the park and at the lake.
